S49b: Research on the Design and Use of Simulations and Animations

This symposium, sponsored by the Committee on Computers in Chemical Education, will provide a forum for research on the design and use of simulations and animations. Presentations should address questions such as: What design features make for effective simulations and animations? What are best practices for using simulations and animations in teaching? How do we assess the impact of simulations and animations on student learning? Any theory-based or research-based presentations on these topics or related topics are welcome.
